Dynamic mesh problem

I have a trouble to run the fluent tutorial Dynamics mesh. When I try to compile the file: valve.c, the following messages show up:

CMD.EXE was started with the above path as the current directory. UNC paths are not supported. Defaulting to Windows directory. 'nmake' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

okie I guess there might be two reasns behind it: 1. U have not set the path. 2. U are not compiling from the correct directory. U have to compile inside the libudf>src>2d/dp/3d/dp from there copy the path and change it. Go to the command prompt, copy the path, by cd ...and then give nmake. Podila

From my experience, i have seen that udf files in some machines are not compiled automatically by fluent gui (the *.c files). This happens in your machine. Don't worry it is simple. What you have to do is to open the command prompt (cmd in start-run), then you go to the bin directory of your MICROSOFT VISUAL STUDIO FOLDER,you find the VCVARS32.BAT (this execute command setting the enviroment) and you print it. After you have activated vcvars32.bat, you launch fluent (do it from an another command prompt to be sure) and you will see that you can compile valve.c, which is a correct generated code, as you will confirm.(remember first build and then load the library) good luck!
